Description

In order to playback a song in the editor that has recorded automation tracks in it, it is necessary to disconnect the MIDI controller from whatever it is controlling. Otherwise the automated knob, fader, etc. will remain at whatever the MIDI Controller's knob or fader level is at. The automation tracks in the song editor should really over ride the MIDI Controller in Playback.
